The COEXPHAL–UAL Chair presents at Classijazz the European projects that promote the transition towards sustainable agricultural systems
Description
On December 11, 2025 , from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. , a new session of the UAL Scientific Dissemination / ScienceJazz cycle will take place in Classijazz (Almería) , dedicated on this occasion to delving deeper into the transition towards more sustainable agri-food systems.
The director of the COEXPHAL–UAL Chair , Cynthia Giagnocavo , will be in charge of presenting several of the European projects in which her research group participates together with researchers from CIT COEX , offering a clear and informative view of the challenges and opportunities of this global transformation.
European projects driving change
During the session, progress on initiatives such as Climate Farm Demo , Climate Smart Advisor , CODECs , Path2DEA and FoodCost will be shared, all of them focused on building more resilient, efficient and sustainable agricultural models.
Through these projects, Almería's agricultural model has been presented in European forums, and this activity now seeks to bring it closer to the local public, integrating it into the conversation about how to move towards a more balanced and responsible agri-food system.
Key questions for a sustainable transition
The meeting will allow for addressing key issues such as:
- What is the real cost of food and how can it be measured?
- What business models facilitate a sustainable transition?
- What role do consumers, producers, businesses, and government play in this process?
Through practical examples and project results, it will be shown how Almería and other European regions are contributing innovative solutions to the fruit and vegetable system.
Science, dialogue and music
True to the spirit of the ScienceJazz cycle, the evening will combine scientific outreach with live jazz music , as well as participatory activities so that the public can share ideas, questions and proposals on agricultural sustainability.
It will be an open meeting space where science, culture and society come together to discuss how to move towards a more sustainable agricultural future.
